One of the many small canapés in the chapter "Hot and cold small dishes." Round bread rounds with seasoned butter and shellfish were typical party fare in 1914.
Grill the bread
Cut out round slices of white bread and grill them lightly, preferably in a little melted butter.
Spread on
Spread the slices thickly with shrimp butter.
Garnish
Arrange a ring of peeled shrimp tails around the edge, and a few capers in the center. Serve at once.
Quantities are estimated, as the original merely lists the ingredients without weights. French bread is specified as a white loaf, and measurements are modernized.
